I got this as well. Also had the errors:

```Unpacking update-notifier-common (3.192.54.8) over (3.192.54.6) ...
dpkg: error processing archive /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-6qSjIC/08-update-notifier-common_3.192.54.8_all.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10periodic', which is also in package apt-config-auto-update 2.1+nmu1
dpkg-deb: error: paste subprocess was killed by signal (Broken pipe)

Bug description:
  apt-config-auto-update and update-notifier-common can't be installed
  together, because they both ship the file
  /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10periodic, but neither package declares a
  Conflicts-relationship. This results in:

  dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/apt-config-auto-update_2.0.0-1_all.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10periodic', which is also in package update-notifier-common 3.168.1
